The Assistant

Part 29

Her words rang around my head. 'Marry me' she couldn't have been serious, I've only known her for a year and I've had a bad past of engagements.

Nat- are you going to answer or sit there in silence the whole way back?
Y/N- I don't know what to say
Nat- look, I love you more than anything. I was always taught love was for children and would be a distraction to my job but then I met you and everything changed. I knew you were who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with the day you told me to sit my arse down.

We pull up to the compound and I had barely said anything, I didn't know what to say.
Nat- I don't need an answer right now but please, just think about it.
Y/N- mmhmm
That's all I could manage, I didn't know what else to say. This would be a big commitment considering our jobs and I didn't know how it would work.

I head into the compound and find everybody in the meeting room waiting
Maria- glad you could make it
Y/N- yeah sorry, my bad.
Maria- right so we've got a mission and Y/N you're going undercover.
Nat- she's only been back less than a week though?
Maria- I know but you are all too well known and this is a cover she's worked before but don't worry, Wanda will be with her.
I just nod and smile, I wasn't paying much attention, my mind was cluttered with thoughts and they were plaguing me. I didn't know what to do

Steve- Y/N? You with us?
Y/N- sorry what?
Maria- did you hear anything I just said to you?
Y/N- nope, not a clue. Send me the package and I'll read up on it later. Wanda can join me and help me if I need it
Maria- sort your head out Y/N, this is way too important for you to fuck up
Y/N- yeah, I get it.

She dismisses us and I head straight for my room. I have a shower and throw a baggy jumper over my grey joggers.
It's been an hour when there's a knock at my door.
Y/N- come in
Wanda- hey, I was just checking in to see if you were okay
Y/N- I should be asking you that, first big mission. How are you feeling?
Wanda- nervous but I'm happy it's with you.
Y/N- you'll be fine, after all according to this you don't get to leave my side
Wanda- well I am playing your pretend wife

We spend a couple hours chatting, I'd always been close with Wanda but I needed to know a lot more about her to make sure I sold this.
Wanda- where did you have time to learn Spanish?
Y/N- when I was on deployment, there were days when there was nothing you could do but keep yourself busy. I think I learnt 4 languages throughout my deployments.
Wanda- which ones?
Y/N- Spanish, french, Russian and Arabic
Wanda- woah, that's impressive, I speak Russian as you know
Y/N- at least we can talk about the guys behind their backs now

The night had passed and it was the next morning, we'd packed up and headed to our hotel suite. We were playing a married couple, I was a big time arms dealer whilst Wanda handled the books and finances.
We'd talked everything through the night before so I knew she was going to be touchy and close which was the mission said to be.
I swept the room upon arrival and it was clear, no bugs in sight.

Wanda- what do we do now?
Y/N- relax for a while, then we head to the club tonight
Wanda- well wifey, do you want to watch a film?
Y/N- yeah stick one on, I've just got some paperwork to do but I'll join you when I'm done.

I noticed Wanda watching me whilst I was doing paperwork and I just smiled at her, it didn't really bother me because I knew this was going to be for however long it needed to be.

After we got ready for the night, we headed to our private car. Steve was undercover as the driver so he could be close to us in case something happened.
He didn't say much in the car in case of bugs or anything like that, we knew we had to be careful.
I open the door and step out, walking round to open the door for Wanda.
She steps out, her dress tight to her waist but flowing around her legs.
Y/N- you ready?
I offer her my arm and she links hers around.
Wanda- let's do this.

We walk into the club and head to the VIP area, I couldn't let appearances slip so I order the most expensive bottle of vodka alongside mixers.
Nobody knew exactly who I was, there had never been a face to the name but everyone called me 'The American'.

Nat POV-

I had agreed to keep contact through comms and I was also watching the CCTV. I knew Y/N would be fine with this mission considering she has done things like this a million times before.
Wanda on the other hand, had never done anything like this before and it scared me knowing Y/N could be put in danger.

I watched as Wanda leaned into Y/N as they sat on the sofa chatting. I hated that sight, the thought of someone else being with Y/N made me feel sick but there was nothing I could do about this.

Y/N- I got the message, meeting at 2am outside the theatre down the road.
Nat- clear and understood. Enjoy the night and make yourself look less suspicious

Shit. I shouldn't have said that.
Y/N grabbed Wanda's hand and led her to the dance floor, their bodies moving in time as Wanda danced close to Y/N.
